My 2 month old is constipated, he does poop about once a day and it is soft but its not soft and mushy and all over the place like it should be its more solid than anything like ours just leaving streaks, I have heard a lot of different things to do but I want to know which one is the best to do, I am going to be taking him to the doctor next week because his regular doctor is out of town on vaction currently but I want to know if there is anything I can do in the mean time.

My son pooped regularly when on enfamil newborn but got immediately constipated when we switched to ANY other type or brand. We currently do 1/3 newborn and 2/3 gentlease. We've tried to ease him into just gentlease but he immediately gets backed up again. The mix is perfect and the dr says we can do that as long as we feed him formula.
